This is the log of my experience building my straw bale home. I am told the pictures do not do the actual finished product justice, however, I am pleased to share it with all who are interested on this site. The trials and tribulations in getting the permit could have brought the project to an abrupt halt, but I knew in my heart that this was something I was meant to do and giving in or quiting was never an option. Enjoy........ and feel free to share with your friends!
Kitchen: drywall is complete. Next step is mudding and sanding, then staining the floors.
Hallway almost ready for mudding.

Looking east, towards the garage entrance. This will be a barrel vaulted ceiling hallway.
Looking west down the hallway. This ceiling will be covered with newapaper, then diamond lathe and hand plastered, so compliment the plaster on the bale walls.
Orillia has been hit with huge snowfall this week - here is the proof!
Welcome to winter in the snow belt!

Standing in the kitchen looking thru to the living room. Ceiling complete now - looks great. 
Looking thru the hall (to the garage door), which will eventually have a barrel vaulted ceiling.
Looking in to the living room to the front door - milled post on the right (actually, there are 5 of them).
Drop down ladder access to loft area.
